Thanks for that,  i am still involved I think the group has gone quiet
due to members being at college etc,  it needs new members to keep it
going.  I think.

For those interested in getting the 11-18 age group into Free Software,
there's also the DFEY groups (Digital Freedom in Education & Youth).

I contacted them about our schools project when we first started out but
was just referred back to their website - which was not terribly helpful

- as a quick update on our herefordshire based project we are in the
process of organising a parents evening in january for parents at one of
the primary schools we have visited - the school is very keen to use
Tuxedu and want to let parents know about it and have a chance to take a
copy home with them.

that is a bit of a dead project now, the funding dried up when Becta was 
decommissioned.

Yes, I haven't been there for a while, but a college friend of mine is involved
with it.

have dreamed it.
